Keyword Search

Keyword searches are an excellent option if you are interested in a particular concept or term such as 'cleaning' or 'carbon dioxide'. They are also a good option if you know the author or the title of the document you are looking for.

To complete a keyword search, type your keyword(s) into the text box and click "search". See text below when using multiple search terms.





To search for multiple keywords there are a number of available options:

  • To search for two or more combined keywords (results will contain both words but not necessarily strung together), type the word and between each keyword (i.e. energy and technology);
  • To search for two or more keywords as a phrase (results will contain all keywords strung together), simply put a space between each keyword (i.e. extended producer responsibility);
  • To search for two or more keywords independent of one another (results will contain any or all of the keywords), type the word or between each keyword (i.e. energy or power or fuel);
  • To search for all possible variations of a stem keyword such as CLEAN, enter the stem and all of the possible variations of the word clean will be searched as well. In this case the variations would be cleaning, cleaners, and cleans.
